In session one of a three-part reading series co-sponsored by the CETL and NCBI, facilitator Stephanie Logan (COE) will lead a discussion on the following reading: Derald Weng Sue, “Racial Microaggressions in Everyday Life: Implications for Clinical Practice,” American Psychologist 62:4 (May-June 2007), 271-286.
From the article abstract: “Racial microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative racial slights and insults toward people of color.” The term “microaggressions” first appeared in psychological literature in the 1970s, and research on microagressions has continued to grow. Although this article’s title is technical, and is addressed to clinicians, it includes clear definitions and examples easily understood by the non-psychologist.
A link to the article can be found on the event description on the CETL website.
